  • the "angular velocity (containing swing motion angular velocity)" is merely described as the “angular velocity”.
  • the damper mechanism 30 gives a resistance to the relative rotary motion between the base 20 and the gimbal 40.
  • the damping coefficient of the damper mechanism 30 increases according to the increase in the relative rotation velocity between the base 20 and the gimbal (details will be described later).

  • T ⁇ H ⁇ d ⁇ y dt
  • the output torque T of the equation (4) is ARG output torque.
  • the output torque T of the gimbal 40 around the Y axis becomes larger as the damping coefficient D of the damper mechanism 30 becomes smaller. From the above, it could be understood that it is effective to make the damping coefficient D of the damper mechanism 30 small in order to make the output torque T (the motion reduction torque) of the stabilizer 10 large.
  • the linear damper means a damper in which the damping coefficient D is constant without depending on the angular velocity of the gimbal.
  • the damping coefficient D corresponds to the inclination of the function shown in FIG. 4 .

  • the value D1 of the damping coefficient D when the angular velocity of the gimbal is the first angular velocity may be 1.1 or more times, 1.5 or more times, or 1.8 or more times larger than the value D2 of the damping coefficient D when the angular velocity of the gimbal is the second angular velocity which is smaller than the first angular velocity.
  • the maximum value of the value of D1/D2 is optional (for example, the maximum value of the value of D1/D2 may be an optional value equal to or less than 10).

  • the partition member 39 rotates to the R direction
  • a part of the liquid in the second liquid chamber 34 moves to the first liquid chamber 33 through the passage 35.
  • the partition member 39 rotates to a direction opposite to the R direction
  • a part of the liquid in the first liquid chamber 33 moves to the second liquid chamber 34 through the passage 35. Since the cross-sectional area of the passage 35 is small in addition to the viscosity of the liquid flowing through the passage 35, the damper mechanism 30 functions as a liquid damper.

  • the number of orifice sections 36 is one, the number of orifice sections may be equal to or more than two.
  • a part of the passage having the cross-sectional area smaller than the other part of the passage 35, namely, a narrow width section 37 is provided.
  • the passage cross-sectional area is an area of the passage cross section orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the passage 35. Note that when the passage 35 is a curved passage, the longitudinal direction of the the passage means the tangent direction of the the passage in any position.
  • the narrow width section 37 is prescribed based on an annular protruding section 38 protruding for the passage 35.
  • the annular protruding section 38 is a ring-like protruding section, and when the cross-section of the passage 35 is rectangular, the annular protruding section 38 is a protruding section having a rectangular frame.
  • the material of the orifice section 36, especially, the material of the protruding section 38 is metal.
  • FIG. 7A to FIG. 7C are an expanded view of the orifice section 36 in FIG. 6 .
  • the orifice sections 36 shown in FIG. 7A to FIG. 7C are orifice sections of a fixation-type.
  • the fixation-type orifice section there is no member or a part which moves to a member or part moving controlled by the control device, namely, a member in which the orifice section is installed (e.g. the housing 32) and which is moved through the control by the control device.
  • FIG. 7A shows the orifice section 36 in a comparison example.
  • the passage cross-sectional area of the narrow width section 37A is constant.
  • the passage cross-sectional area of the narrow width section 37B changes continuously along the longitudinal direction of the passage 35. More specifically, the first end of the protruding section 38 (an end on a side of the first liquid chamber 33) has a first inclination surface 38-1, and the second end of the protruding section 38 (an end on a side of the second liquid chamber) has a second inclination surface 38-2.
  • the first inclination surface 38-1 is formed so that the passage cross-sectional area becomes smaller for the second end
  • the second inclination surface 38-2 is formed so that the passage cross-sectional area becomes smaller for the first end. Also, in the embodiment shown in FIG.
  • an annular edge section 38B is provided in a part of the passage 35 where the passage cross-sectional area orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the passage 35 becomes the smallest.
  • the liquid damper is a non-linear damper, and the liquid damper shows the damper characteristic shown in FIG. 5 .
  • the passage cross-sectional area in a narrow width section 37C changes continuously along the longitudinal direction of the passage 35 at a first end 37CA and a second end 37CB in the narrow width section 37C at least.
  • the shape of the protruding section 38 (or the narrow width section) has a symmetrical shape with respect to a central symmetry plane PL.
  • the narrow width section 37C in the embodiment shown in FIG. 7C has an intermediate function of the function of the narrow width section 37A in the example shown in FIG. 7A and the function of the narrow width section 37B in the embodiment shown in FIG. 7B . Therefore, although the liquid damper is a non-linear damper, it provides the damper characteristic shown in FIG. 5 .
  • the stabilizer 10 in which the damper mechanism 30 (the non-linear damper) shown in FIG. 7B or FIG. 7C is loaded can be suitably damp the motion, even when the motion angular velocity of the ship 1 as the motion target (e.g. a motion angular velocity around the X axis) is small.
  • FIG. 7D shows graphs schematically showing the motion reduction effect by the stabilizer 10 in which the non-linear damper in the embodiment is loaded, and the motion reduction effect by the stabilizer in which the linear damper of a comparison example is loaded. Referring to FIG. 7D , in the stabilizer 10 which the non-linear damper in the embodiment is loaded, it could be understood that the motion reduction effect is large in the low wave height region.
  • the characteristic of the non-linear damper having the orifice section 36 shown in FIG. 7B or FIG. 7C is difficult to undergo influence of viscosity of the liquid (oil) housed in the first liquid chamber 33 and the second liquid chamber 34. Therefore, the change of the damper output torque is small to the temperature change of the damper or the temperature change around the damper.
  • the damper mechanism 30 may have the damper characteristic shown in FIG. 8 instead of the damper characteristic shown in FIG. 5 .
  • a value D1 of the damping coefficient D (the inclination of a function f" at a point G) when the angular velocity of the gimbal 40 is a first angular velocity (e.g. maximum value A) is larger than a value D2 of the damping coefficient D (the inclination of a function f' at a point H) when the angular velocity of the gimbal 40 is a second angular velocity which is smaller than the first angular velocity.
  • the damper characteristic shown in FIG. 5 and the damper characteristic shown in FIG. 8 are common in a point that a value of the damping coefficient D (the inclination of the function f' or the inclination of the function f") monotonously increases (in the wider sense) as the angular velocity of the gimbal increases.
  • the wide sense means that a portion where the value of the damping coefficient D of the gimbal is constant to the increase of the angular velocity of the gimbal (a portion where the inclination of the function f" is constant) may be contained.
  • the damper characteristic shown in FIG. 8 can be realized by, for example, adopting a mechanically adjusted orifice section (a mobile-type orifice section) so that the minimum cross-sectional area of the narrow width section 37 changes step-by-step (into at least 2 steps) according to the pressure difference P between the fluid pressure in the first liquid chamber 33 and the fluid pressure in the second liquid chamber 34. Since such a mechanism is feasible by a skilled person, the detailed explanation is omitted. Alternatively, or additionally, a manual input device which can change the damper damping coefficient D step-by-step (into at least 2 steps) may be disposed.
  • the damper mechanism of such a type is defined as an active-type damper mechanism in this Specification.
  • the active-type damper mechanism has a problem that a control mechanism requires many components. Also, when adopting the active-type damper mechanism, there is a possibility that the stabilizer oscillates in case of occurrence of a failure. Moreover, the control mechanism needs to have a high waterproof characteristic since the input and output of the electric signals are used.
  • the damper mechanisms of some embodiments are the passive-type damper mechanisms (the damper mechanisms except the active type) and the stabilizer never oscillates, even when the failure occurs. Also, the passive-type damper mechanisms in the some embodiments are desirable from the view point of the water proof property since it can be realized without using an electric processing unit (the control unit).
